Ok. What's the deal with Prince apparently being some kind of amazing sex symbol/ totem? I realize I was raised in a hardcore Pentecostal household, but I turned out bisexual, so I don't think I'm too slanted coming into this issue. Is he as creepy and off-putting as I think he is, or is he the SexLord everyone seems to think? Help me, fellow videogame message board people! :(

This probably should've gone in Off Topic. Whoops. I blame the penis-shaped guitar.

I've always thought of him as creepy bizarro M.J.

I don't get his persona and I don't think his music is very good, I voted creepy

I dunno, he's just a dude. Some of his tunes are really, really rad though.

Prince is Prince. He's a category all to himself.

Prince is just one of those guys where I really really don't think his persona is an act.

There's been many stories of people who have met Prince, the general consensus is that he's kind of crazy.

Prince is awesome. He plays 27 instruments and Purple Rain is my favorite album of all time. He's not creepy he's just an entity unto himself. Price rules!

Prince is really weird, sure, but he's freakishly talented. Certainly one of the best songwriters of the late 70s and 80s. Right up there with The Talking Heads, R.E.M., and whoever else.

As far as being a sex symbol, fresh fingerwork on a guitar and lots of purple clothes and millions of dollars will get it done just about every time, even if you're a 4 foot tall, androgynous weirdo.

Glad to see that the majority of my fellow bombers agree. I thought I might be alone on this issue :\
